Joel wrote this for me last night during Ron & Chelsea's wedding reception. This morning he played & sang it for me under the chestnut trees in the grass before he took me to the airport. He was luminous.

Better Lullaby

In flight
Belt down tight
Many miles before I sleep tonight
Snow-soft clouds for my dry eyes
Past days hold still like fireflies
Go fly away
My new sunrise is here to play
Shafts so bright through the tall wood
But how will this be any better
When it’s all good?

Insane
Hop on a plane
Got no carry-on to hold a flame
Burns so bright where I left from
Makes each sunset the best one
Then I’m alone
Many miles come away from home
Past days rise like a wall would
But how were they all any better
When it’s all good?

Lie lie lie lie lie lights out
Fists down
No sound
Fly, fly, fly until your dreams land
And tell the Sandman he’d better… better…

Love you
Love me too
Thank G!d I’ve got my work to do
Sets my course where the seas rise
Futures dim like my dry eyes
I’m flying home
Burns so world-wide, I’m flying home
No flight lifts like a fall could
So how could I feel any better
When it’s all good?
